Franklin, Va. - Hidden for centuries. Portraits of men, members of the Franklin Masonic Lodge were stashed in the attic. The photos were recently uncovered and now one man is taking action to find out who they were.

“This is where they came out of, up here,” says Kevin Insull, a former master of the Franklin Lodge No. 151.”

He says the five pictures date back to the 1800's. He believes they too were former lodge masters.

“We need to find out who they are because obviously they meant a lot to this lodge or they wouldn`t be here,” he says. “Those pictures wouldn`t be up there.”

Insull immediately took action. Dusting them off, he has so far identified who three of the men were.
